6, Chapter 2, Department of Defense Activity Address Directory 

4. APPROVED CHANGE: (Changes from ADC 1117 highlighted in yellow)

a. Brief Overview of Change: This change is to improve and refine the business rules 

associated with the type address codes (TAC) used in the DoDAAD and remove TAC 4. There 

are four separate TACs in the DoDAAD. Currently, only TAC 1 (mail) is mandatory. If a TAC 

2 (freight), TAC 3 (billing), or TAC 4 (commercial small parcel shipment) are not entered, the 

default business rule is to use the TAC 1 address. For example, if the TAC 2 does not exist, the 

TAC 1 is to be used as the ship-to address. This change will require entering the specific address 

for the purpose for which the DoDAAC is intended to be used, based upon the DoDAAC 

authority code. In other words, the value of the DoDAAC authority code will determine the 

TAC address requirements for any given DoDAAC. This change is not applicable to DoDAACs 

already resident in the DoDAAD, but will apply to any future changes made to existing 

DoDAACs or when new DoDAACs are created after the implementation date of this change. 

b. Background

(1) When the DoDAAD was reengineered approximately ten years ago, the original 

design of the reengineering intended that a TAC 2 be required when the DoDAAC was to be 

used for shipping, and that a TAC 3 would be required if the DoDAAC was to allow/support 

billing. Prior to implementation, this requirement was dropped. Fortunately, the structure to 

support the intent remained in place. In the DoDAAD Update Application, there are copy 

buttons which allow Central Service Points (CSP) to copy the current TAC 1 to the TAC 2

and/or the TAC 1 to the TAC 3, as necessary. After using the copy function, the address can be 

modified (if required). 

(2) Currently, if a specific TAC does not exist for shipping or billing, the default 

business rule applies, and Service/Agency applications will use the TAC 1. As a result, many 

Page 1 Attachment, ADC 1117
DoDAACs used for requisitioning, shipping, and billing may only have a TAC 1 address, which 

may or may not be the correct billing and/or shipping address of the activity. 

(3) The TAC 4 was designed to be used as a commercial small parcel shipping address, 

but it was never embraced. Currently there are only 371 TAC 4 addresses in use (approximately 

.139 percent or just over 1/10th of one percentage point of the total quantity of active DoDAACs

in the DoDAAD). Part of the problem for this lack of implementation is that there is nothing in 

the requisition process to emphatically indicate when the TAC 4 is to be used. If both the TAC 2 

and TAC 4 exist, it would default to the shipper to make a judgment call regarding which TAC is 

correct. To do this, the shipper would need to look at what is being shipped and review the 

options. This scenario is unlikely. It is much more likely that the shipper will default to the 

TAC 2, which can be used in all cases. Furthermore, since the purpose of the TAC 4 was for 

commercial parcel post packages under 70 pounds, this is also a use for which the TAC 1 

suffices, provided the TAC 1 is not a Post Office Box address. Regardless, any size shipment 

can be delivered to a TAC 2, which thus renders the TAC 4 redundant or without utility. For 

these reasons, the TAC 4 is being eliminated from the DoDAAD. 

c. Describe Requested Change in Detail: CSPs will enter the appropriate TACs based 

on the intended use of the DoDAAC and the DoDAAC’s authority code assigned. A “YES” in 

the column means the information is required, and a “NO” means is it not required (optional). 

See table below. This change will not cause any negative impact to systems supported by the 

DoDAAD, because it is only adds a greater level of fidelity and detracts nothing.

Page 2 Attachment, ADC 1117
d. DLA Transaction Services: DLA Transaction Services will need to make the following 

changes to the DoDAAD Update Application: 

(1) The TAC 1 address will always be required for every DoDAAC. Because of the 

logic change, TAC 1 is no longer affected by the “MESSAGE ENTRY” flag. To be a valid 

address, the following address information is required:

1. Address lines 1 and 2 (may include a Post Office Box)

2. Country

3. State/APO/Province

4. City

5. ZIP Code or International Postal Code (depending on whether CONUS or 

OCONUS)

(2) All other TAC requirements are dependent on the authority code.

(3) The TAC 2 address is required if the Authority Code is 00, 01, 04, 05, or 06. TAC 

2 also has one additional edit requirement. The field requirements will depend on the 

“MESSAGE ENTRY” flag. Only TAC 2 is affected by the “MESSAGE ENTRY” flag, so the 

“Check here for MESSAGE ENTRY (NO ADDRESS DATA)” row must be moved from its 

current location to directly above the “TAC2 Information” row. If the flag is false (not checked), 

the TAC 2 requires the same address lines as the TAC 1. When the MESSAGE ENTRY (NO 

ADDRESS DATA) is true, the following fields should be disabled: 

1. Address lines 4 and 5

2. Country

3. State/APO/Province

4. City

5. ZIP Code

6. International Postal Code

(4) The TAC 2 cannot be deleted as long as the Authority Code is 00, 01, 04, 05, or 06. 

If the TAC 2 must be deleted, the authority code must first be changed to a code value that does 

not require a valid shipping address (02, 03, or 07).

(5) The TAC 2 must not allow Post Office Box addresses. Do not allow the DoDAAC

to be saved if the address contains a Post Office Box, Army Post Office (APO), Fleet Post Office 

(FPO), or Diplomat Post Office (DPO) addresses. Also, do not allow the DoDAAC to be saved if 

AA, AE or AP are used in the State Code. The TAC 2 address requires an actual street location 

for a shipment or delivery.

(6) The TAC 3 address is required if the Authority Code is 00, 02, 03 or 04. The 

address lines required are the same lines listed in TAC 1 above.

(7) The TAC 3 cannot be deleted as long as the Authority Code is 00, 02, 03 or 04. If 

the TAC 3 must be deleted, the authority code must first be changed to a code value that does not 

require a valid billing address (01, 05, 06, or 07).

Page 3 Attachment, ADC 1117
(8) If the Authority Code is 01, 05, 06, or 07, TAC 3 is optional. Address lines for 

TAC 3 are irrelevant for these authority codes, but to support backwards compatibility they will 

not be removed or restricted. 

(9) If the Authority Code is 02, 03 or 07, TAC 2 is optional. Address lines for TAC 2

are irrelevant for these authority codes, but to support backwards compatibility they will not be 

removed or restricted.

(10) Army and Air Force will need to make similar changes to their respective 

DoDAAD update applications to ensure compliance.

(11) Remove TAC 4 address fields from DoDAAD Update, eDAASINQ and 

DAASINQ. Also, remove the following elements from downloads and adhoc queries:

(a) T4_ADDR1

(b) T4_ADDR2

(c) T4_ADDR3

(d) T4_ADDR4

(e) T4_ADDR5

(f) T4_EFFDTE

(g) T4_DELDTE

e. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals (changes are identified in bold, red italics):

(1) DLM 4000.25, Volume 6, Chapter 2 will include changes to the following 

paragraphs: 

C2.4.2.2. TAC 2 - Ship-To or Freight. TAC 2 identifies the ship-to or freight 

address and other information for the activity. If a ship-to address is required 

(Authority Codes 00, 01, 04, 05 or 06), the TAC 2 must be provided.

1

 Addresses 

listed for freight purposes must contain sufficient information to use the in-the-clear 

portion of package markings and to insert addresses in the consignee block of 

transportation documents. The geographic location in the destination block of

transportation documents may vary depending upon the mode of transportation. There 

1 Refer to ADC 1117. This requirement is not retroactive to DoDAACs established prior to (implementation date).

Page 4 Attachment, ADC 1117

 
are two geographic location indicators in addition to the address: Aerial Port of 

Debarkation (APOD); and Water Port of Debarkation (WPOD). The APOD and WPOD 

are adjuncts to the address information, and a variance in the address may be required 

depending on the values in these fields. Supplemental information concerning 

railheads, airports, etc., serving a given installation in the Continental United States 

(CONUS) is contained in the Defense Transportation Regulation (DTR) at 

http://www.transcom.mil/dtr/part-ii/. See Table C2.T1. 

C2.4.2.3. TAC 3 - Bill-To. TAC 3 identifies the billing address of the activity 

responsible for bill payments and other information for the activity. Currently, if no TAC 

3 is entered, the TAC 1 address is used. If a bill-to address is required (Authority 

Codes 00, 02, 03, and 04), the TAC 3 must be provided.

C2.4.2.4. TAC 4 - Commercial Small Parcel Shipping. TAC 4 identifies 

the commercial shipping address (e.g., address used by United States Postal 

System (USPS), United Parcel Service, FedEx) and other information for the 

activity. If no TAC 4 is entered, the TAC 2 address is used. If there is no TAC 2 

address, the TAC 1 address is used. Commercial small parcel shipping 

information should follow the format established by the USPS to the extent 

practicable. This format consists of elements such as recipient name, street 

name, address number, city, state, and ZIP Code. APO, Fleet Post Office (FPO) 

and other military unique qualifiers should not be used in the TAC 4 commercial 

small parcel shipping section.

2 Refer to ADC 1117. This requirement is not retroactive to DoDAACs established prior to (implementation date).

3 YES indicates the TAC is required. NO indicates the TAC is optional.

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: TACs serve multiple purposes, and the current rule of 

defaulting to the TAC 1 address for shipping and billing does not adequately control the address 

validation requirements for each individual TAC. For example, if the message flag is checked,

both the TAC 1 and TAC 2 validation edits are ignored. This change will allow the controls for 

the owner TAC to remain when a message TAC 2 is required. Additionally, shipping addresses 

cannot contain Post Office Boxes; however, TAC 1 addresses can. This presents problems for 

Distribution. Furthermore, if there is no TAC 3 on a DoDAAC, though the default is to defer to 

the TAC 1, there is no guarantee that the TAC 1 is a valid billing address for the activity. This 

change will ensure discrete functional data exists within the DoDAAD so as to facilitate both 

current billing and shipping processes, and will also facilitate future enhancements. 

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: It improves validation of the TACs, facilitates current business 

processes, assures data quality, and enables future enhancements. 

b. Disadvantages: None Noted. 

7. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: None noted.

8. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: This change will be 

authorized for immediate implementation when this DLMS change is released as an ADC. DLA 

Transaction Services, Army, and Air Force must provide an implementation date for when the 

proposed change can be made to their respective systems. Staggered implementation is

authorized for Component Source of Supply, DOD EMALL, and GSA Advantage systems to 

implement authority code edits per DLM 4000.25, Volume 2, Chapter 4. 

9. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: No new DLMS data elements.

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: Changes as reflected in DoDAAC Authority 

Codes Table. 

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS):

(1) Army and Air Force DoDAAD systems must implement revised business rules in

their respective systems for DoDAAD update. There is no impact to Service/Agencies using the 

DoDAAD for any purpose.

(2) Component Source of Supply and internet ordering systems must implement 

authority code edits in their systems.

e. DLA Transaction Services: These changes will need to be implemented and 

maintained at DLA Transaction Services. The DoDAAD Update Application is impacted.

f. Non-Defense Logistics Management Standards Publications: The changes 

identified in this ADC will need to be incorporated into the relevant Service/Agency-level

DoDAAD management publications, including (but not limited to) the following:
